Technology Alternative Social Media and Tech

[Agent Mulder]

The one issue I have with bitchute and alt-social media in general is the fact that all there is is politics and conspiracies. I hate google as much as the next guy, but I still use youtube because, as of now, bitchute it only really good for doomscrolling. What we need is people to make accounts on there and just upload generic content. Cat videos, gaming, shitposts, the things we expect from a normal social media platform. It could start out with just random people making poor quality videos and evolve like it did with youtube, but eventually it has to happen.

I have a music channel there. It's easy to keep, just upload one video a day. 5 minutes' work. Content creation will need to rely on mirrorring for a while yet though.

Have you looked at Rumble? It really has a bit of everything.

Rumble has cute animal videos.

It also has regular news services like Reuters and Newsy and various local news channels post videos on their regularly.

Most of the content is political but it's usually more in the vein of Bongino and D'souza and the Blaze as opposed to weird anti-vaxxer and Doomer stuff.

Arch Warhammer was on their momentarily as well and put up a video whilst his Youtube Account was down for several weeks. We'll see if he keeps hosting on both platforms still though. Sadly there aren't many gaming videos on Rumble yet. Also, the History Guy (from YouTube) apparently puts up videos on Rumble as well.

Open Street Map is a good alternative to Google Maps. It doesn't have satellite pictures, but map is much more functional than Google one.

Added a bit of an index to the first page under the spoiler tabs. I'll add to it whenever the whimsy strikes me.

Apparently there is yet another YouTube alternative called Odysee. Glanced over it briefly and didn't see anything that stood out too much though 'PingTrip', the guy who males Joe Rogan edit memes, apparently rehosts his content there as well.

Odysee is another YouTube alternative. Been checking it out a bit more this morning. The mobile version of the website is extremely hard to navigate (far worse then contemporaries like Rumble which are okayyyy....) but the desktop version is actually far better laid out.

There's an article from a few weeks ago covering the launch of Odysee (which started back in September but didn't make its big debut until December. It has five hundred thousand users and four million videos uploaded as well. Odysee is backed by LBRY, a decentralized blockchain protocol.

Odysee aims to build a more independent video platform

Apparently one of the ways you can earn crypto as a creator by rehosting your YouTube content on Odysee.

Looks like John Matze was terminated from being the Parler CEO by its board.

Parler co-owner Bongino pushes back on claims by ousted CEO John Matze: 'Time to correct the record'

Parler CEO John Matze was terminated by the company’s board of directors last week in a decision the social media platform hoped to keep private — until Fox News obtained on Wednesday a memo he sent to employees explaining why he was terminated.

www.foxnews.com

There was apparently a bit of a falling out between him and board members whom include popular Right Wing commentator Dan Bongino and Businesswoman and prolific Trump/Republican donor Rebekah Mercer who helped co-found Parler.

After attempting to start a channel on bitchute I've found another problem I have with it. The uploading process doesn't work. And apparently I'm not the only one who has this problem.







Rumble it is, I suppose.

Check out Odysee as well if you are looking.

I don't use any social media websites in general so that's a wash for me... but after scoping out some of the other stuff.

From personal use and through the grapevine I've heard basically good things about both of these browsers. They seem like perfectly reasonable alternatives to Chrome or Firefox and if it's practical, seems more then easy enough to zone out Big Tech and adopt instead as the main browser.

Rumble seems great for Right Wing content and general news content but doesn't seem to have a real wide net or diverse content beyond that unfortunately. It does have an easy to use mobile app (barebones but room for improvement) for use on a phone or smart TV though so that's a definite plus.

Odysee has more diversity but from what I've seen, is pretty hard to navigate on a Mobile and has no corresponding app for other platforms. It's great on the desktop though. Hopefully it can broaden its access in the future.

Yippy seems fine for a desktop search, like a super capable oldschool search engine but I tried it on my mobile and the formatting was all borked and very hard to use.

DuckDuckGo thankfully can be easily used on my mobile phone and on any browser I've tried as the default search engine and on like 80-90% of my searches, it does a perfectly fine job without mining my personal search engine data like Google does. The only weaknesses I suppose would be searching for stuff that is location dependent (some shopping and maps I guess).

Parler is back online after its month long hiatus.

Parler came back online Monday, more than a month after Amazon forced the controversial social network into a lengthy hiatus. The Twitter-like platform also named conservative activist Mark Meckler…

Given the data leak announced on Jan 11, and the ridiculous "verified citizen" thing, I don't think people should be using Parler.

Edit: Although after looking into it, apparently there has been a leadership change. Still, do not give social media your government ID and treat Parler cautiously at best.

I've been getting recommendations for lbry.tv as an uncensored alternative to YouTube. I'm not sure how good it is, seems a bit sparse at the moment but I did see a decent assortment of videos that weren't purely political which I took as a good sign.

Of course the moment a competitor to Google-owned YouTube started making traction, Google moved to ban and cancel them.

Odysee is built on the lbry.tv stuff IIRC and has a fair number of creators on it already.

Texas apparently to move against Gab per a tweet by the governor, because apparently Texas politicians don't have more pressing concerns than Americans exercising their free speech. I can't find the details of the bill anywhere, so I'm not sure how, exactly. Anyone have a copy of Craig Goldman's bill?

Boy, wouldn’t it be nice to have ‘leaders’ that cared about texicans qua texicans to the degree they care about that other ethnicity?

Oh, yes, "anti-semitic" statememts. What a useful label to smear any given thing with to force its shutdown. Fucking RINOs wanna be seen as "good" republicans and also curtail any critisms on jewish people and Israel in general, but all they do is stroke said anti-semitism even further.

Facebook Data Leak Shows Even Mark Zuckerberg is on Signal

Facebook went through a massive data leak over the weekend where data of 533 million Facebook users was leaked, and guess what, Mark Zuckerberg's information was in it, too. This means that Zuckerberg's name, location, contact number, marriage details, Facebook ID, and other relevant information...
